IXP_EPRINT(3)

🌸 IXP_EPRINT(3) — like, the libixp error-exit girlie 🌸

okay bestie, so this is ixp_eprint from section 3 of the manual (the library functions girlies 💅) — she's short, she's dramatic, and honestly she's kind of iconic for it.

✨ NAME ✨

ixp_eprint — that's her, that's the whole name, no notes 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ixp.h>

void ixp_eprint(const char *fmt, ...);

like yes, she returns void, because she's not coming back 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — libixp calls this function whenever there's an error. that's it, that's the whole vibe check.

she formats her arguments exactly like printf(3) does (same energy, same format-string behavior — ngl she's lowkey just printf's chaotic little sister), and then she exits the program. periodt. 💀

like, no return value, no second chances, no "let me think about it" — she formats, she dips, the program is done 🫶

⚠️ heads up bestie: this is not a "handle the error gracefully" situation. the program literally exits. so if you were hoping to keep running after she gets called… she said no 💅

💜 a lil sign-off 💜

this absolute queen comes to you from the libixp Manual, dated 2012 Dec — vintage, but she still slays ✨🎀👑

k bye ilysm, go read your manpages 🦋💖
